Finding Freedom in Limitlessness: The Buddhist Parable of Fudo

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!

A Buddhist parable tells the story of Fudo, a young falcon who learns that true freedom comes from understanding that the sky isn't a boundary to overcome but a reflection of his own limitless nature. This ancient wisdom teaches us that our perception of limitations often creates the very constraints we struggle against.

• Fudo, a talented young falcon, feels restless when flying and wonders what lies beyond the sky's apparent boundaries
• He seeks wisdom from Shouhai, an ancient turtle known for his patience and deep insights
• Shouhai explains that the sky has no limits—it's Fudo's conception of it as something to conquer that creates his feelings of limitation
• The turtle teaches that the sky simply "leaves room" and mirrors Fudo's own unlimited nature
• When Fudo shifts his perspective, he experiences the sky differently and finds the freedom and contentment he sought
• The parable illustrates how our perceptions shape our reality and how letting go of the need to conquer can lead to true freedom

Stay safe and healthy, everyone, and remember to live in the moment.
